3. 3 Background  July 19, 1999 Urban Air Toxics Strategy EPA required to list 30 HAPs from area sources which pose the greatest potential public health threat in urban areas EPA must regulate area sources categories accounting for 90 percent of the emissions of 30 listed HAPs EPA listed 70 area source categories, including autobody refinishing operations, paint stripping operations and plastic parts and products surface coating

4. 4 Background  NESHAP: Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources published 1/9/08 (73 FR 1738)  Area Sources - federal HAP emissions less than 10 tons per year (TPY) of any one, and less than 25 TPY of all combined

5. 5 Three Affected Source Categories  Paint stripping operations using Methylene Chloride (MeCl) to remove dried paint from wood, plastic, metal or other  Motor vehicle and mobile equipment spray-applied surface coating operations  Miscellaneous surface coating spray application of coatings containing Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni, or Cd (target HAPs) to any metal or plastic parts or products that are not motor vehicles or mobile equipment

6. 6 Sources NOT affected  Surface coating or paint stripping by Armed Forces, NASA, or National Nuclear Security Administration operations  Surface coating or paint stripping of military munitions or equipment for use by Armed Forces  Surface coating or paint stripping by individuals on personal vehicles, possessions, or property as a hobby or maintenance, or done by individuals for others without compensation. But, rule covers surface coating by individuals of more than 2 vehicles or mobile equipment in a year, whether or not compensated

7. 7 Sources NOT affected  research and laboratory activities  quality control activities  activities covered under any other area source NESHAP  motor vehicle and mobile equipment spray- applied surface coating operations who successfully petition EPA for exemption, demonstrating that no target HAPs used in any coatings Petition to include description of the coatings sprayed and certification that not spray applying any coatings containing target HAP  May rely on formulation date from manufacturer or supplier, such as MSDS sheets

8. 8 Activities NOT included  spray-applied applications: using hand-held device with a cup capacity no more than 3.0 fluid ounces (89 cc) powder coating hand-held, non-refillable aerosol containers non-atomizing technology  brushes, rollers, hand wiping  coating techniques – flow, dip, electrodeposition, web, coil  touch up markers or marking pens thermal spray operations using solid metallic or non- metallic materials

9. 9 Activities NOT included  Definition of coating excludes: decorative, protective, or functional materials that consist only of protective oils for metal, acids, bases, or any combination paper film or plastic film that may be pre-coated with adhesive adhesives, sealants, maskants, or caulking materials temporary protective coatings, lubricants, or surface preparation materials in-mold coatings that are spray-applied in the manufacture of reinforced plastic composite parts

10. 10 New Sources  A source is new if Source commenced construction after September 17, 2007 by installing new equipment; and the new equipment is used at a source not actively engaged in paint stripping and/or surface coating prior to September 17, 2007  construction of new paint booths, enclosed spray gun cleaners, paint stripping equipment to reduce MeCl emissions, or spray guns to comply with the rule does not make an existing source new

11. 11 Compliance Dates  New sources must comply by January 9, 2008 or start-up of operations  Existing sources must comply by January 9, 2011

12. 12 General Requirements Paint Stripping  minimize emissions of MeCl using the following management practices evaluate each application for need to remove paint (e.g. can part be re-coated) evaluate each application for alternative to MeCl reduce exposure of MeCl strippers to air optimize conditions when using MeCl to reduce evaporation (e.g., if heating, use lowest possible temperature) use proper storage and disposal techniques

13. 13 General Requirements Paint Stripping  if operation uses more than one ton of MeCl in a year develop and implement a written MeCl minimization plan post the plan in areas where activity occurs  if operation uses one ton of MeCl or less no written plan is required, but must comply with minimization management practices

14. 14 General Requirements Surface Coating  1: painters must be certified as completing training in proper spray application of surface coatings, setup and maintenance of spray equipment except students of accredited surface coating training program who are under the direct supervision of an instructor who is certified

15. 15 General Requirements Surface Coating  2: spray-applied coatings must be applied in spray booth, preparation station, or mobile enclosure that meets a and b, c, or d: a: fitted with filter system demonstrated to have 98% collection efficiency, using vendor provided filter efficiency data, or using waterwash spray booths operated to manufacturer’s specs b: booths and prep stations for complete motor vehicles or mobile equipment must  have full roof and four walls or side curtains, and operate and negative pressure; OR  use downdraft booth operated at up to, but no more than, 0.05 inches w.g. positive pressure

16. 16 General Requirements Surface Coating  2: spray booths, prep stations, or mobile enclosures c: booths or prep stations for miscellaneous coating or vehicle subassemblies  have full roof, at least 3 complete walls or side curtains, and ventilated so air is drawn into the booth  roof and walls may have openings for conveyors d: mobile enclosures for spot repairs must enclose and seal against the surface being coated so paint overspray is retained in enclosure and directed to the filter

17. 17 General Requirements Surface Coating  3: spray-applied coatings must be applied with one of the following gun technologies: high volume, low pressure (HVLP) electrostatic airless air-assisted airless with written approval from EPA, other spray technology demonstrated to achieve equivalent transfer efficiency

18. 18 General Requirements Surface Coating  3: listed spray technologies are not required if: painting is performed by students and instructors at paint training centers coating aerospace vehicle  components that normally require use of airbrush or extensions to reach limited access areas  with coatings that contain fillers that adversely affect atomization with HVLP  with coatings that have dried film thickness of less than 0.0013 cm (0.0005 in)

19. 19 General Requirements Surface Coating  4: spray gun cleaning operation should prevent atomized mist or avoid spraying cleaning solvent and paint residue outside container used to collect waste solvent acceptable options include:  hand cleaning of disassembled gun  flush gun with solvent, without spraying  use fully enclosed gun cleaner  combination of non-atomizing methods
